41-year-old Ontario man arrested for allegedly trying to seduce teen

ONTARIO - A 41-year-old Ontario man has been arrested for allegedly trying to seduce a teenage girl that he had known for some time, officials said.

William Ernesto Moreira was arrested last week in the 2500 block of South Archibald Avenue on suspicion of contacting a child for the purpose of having sexual contact with that minor and was placed on an immigration hold, Ontario police officials said.

Moreira had been a long-time friend of the girl's family and over time it appears Moreira may have attempted to initiate an inappropriate relationship with the girl, officials said.

Ontario police officers were tipped off to the relationship and Moreira was arrested.

He was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga and is scheduled to appear in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.

Officers said they do not feel there are any other victims in this case.
